Cresasso 2004 Zenato

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2004 Cresasso (100% Corvina) is an intense wine loaded with dark fruit, spices and French oak. A rich, concentrated red, it possesses remarkable inner sweetness as suggestions of licorice, tar and smoke gradually emerge from the glass. Creasasso is made from a relatively young, densely-planted vineyard, and the wine is aged in medium-sized French oak barrels. 2004 is the first vintage for this wine, and judging by this effort, Zenato has yet another success on their hands.

There's good concentration of peppery dried cherry and plum, with rich herb and raw chocolate. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long, thick, almost syrupy mouthfeel, but this leaves a crisp passion fruit and citrus aftertaste. Very concentrated, from just slightly dried Corvina grapes.
